1. A special machine is used to emboss
graphic symbols on metal foil. The foil
is fed through the embossing
machine. The advanced motion of the
stamp must be capable of being varied
in accordance with the fed speed as
shown in the Figure. The return
motion must always be executed as a
rapid traverse. A One-way flow control
valve is used to control the speed of
the stamp, while a pressure relief valve is used to prevent the weight of the stamp from pulling the
piston rod out of the cylinder. A 4/2-way valve is used to switch between advance and return motion.
Draw the hydraulic circuit diagram by choosing the correct components according to the machine
function and above explanation.
2. Two similar double acting hydraulic
cylinders are used to push product
from a vertical stack into a conveyor
belt then into a container as shown
in the Figure. Draw the hydraulic
circuit that will continuously
remove product from the stack and
fulfill the following requirements:
● In the active stroke, Cylinder A has to move first. Cylinder B starts to move with normal speed only
when Cylinder A reaches the end of its travel.
● The extending speed of Cylinder B should be 70% of that of Cylinder A.
● Both cylinders should be able to retract together at the same time. The pressure needed for Cylinder A
to retract is 20 bar and that for Cylinder B is 10 bar.
● Conveyor belt has two actuators both of them should be able to rotate together at the same time.
● Install a filter in the suction line. This filter may be blocked with oil contamination at any instant during
operation.
● Install a safety circuit to prevent damage to system and injury to operating and maintenance
personnel.
3. A press for formation of sheet iron to U shape ( مكبس تشكيل صاج علي شكل حرفU) consists of three
hydraulic cylinders A, B, and C. actuator A extends and clamps the sheet. Actuators B.C extend
simultaneously to shape the sheet. Draw the hydraulic circuit that fulfill the following requirements:
● Single acting spring return cylinders
● Cylinders B, C extent and retract together at the same time
● Cylinder A extend first and clamp at a pressure of 35 bar.
● Cylinder A retract after the retraction of cylinders B, C.
● Install a filter in the suction line. This filter may be blocked with oil contamination at any instant
during operation.
● Control speed of A Cylinder using Meter-in flow control valve.
4. The diagram shows an outline design for a proposed machine to be used for drilling a hole in a work
piece. First, the work piece is put in position. Next, the work piece is clamped by C Cylinder. After that,
the hydraulic motor starts rotating. Finally, the work piece is fed against the drill by Cylinder B and the
drilling starts. Cylinder B is double rod type with the rod fixed at each end.
Draw the hydraulic circuit that fulfill the following requirements:
● Hydraulic motor A has to have fixed torque and speed.
● In the active stroke, Cylinder C has to move first, then motor A start to rotates only when
Cylinder C reaches the end of its travel. Finally, Cylinder B starts to move.
● The feed of Cylinder B must be controlled.
● In retraction: Cylinder B has to move first, then motor A stops, finally, cylinder C start to retract.
● Install a filter in the suction line. This filter may be blocked with oil contamination at any instant
during operation.
